POMONA – One man died and a woman was injured Thursday after an empty tour bus collided with a car near Towne and San Bernardino avenues, just south of the 10 Freeway.

Investigators said they believe the tour bus was heading south on Towne about 8:30 a.m. when it crashed into a 1987 Chevrolet Celebrity that was crossing Towne on San Bernardino, according to a police news release.

The Chevrolet was significantly damaged in the collision, police said.

A 22-year-old Pomona man, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, was pronounced dead at the scene.

The man’s name was withheld because his family had not yet been notified.

A 31-year-old Pomona woman, who was driving the car, was transported to a local hospital with serious injuries.

The bus driver – Housep Antikyan of Pasadena – was not injured. The bus is owned by Van Hool.
